Thanks for your help with the advice it just feels like you are going round in circles and can be stressful. Weve had the kitten 5 weeks now but I guess any form of tolerance can take a while.

Do you think a cat carrier or crate might help?

No, isnt at that stage but you can see he would like too but the older cat bats and shoo's him away. They are nearly the same size now with the kitten being a maine coon lol.

I for i forgot to add the older cat does growl when it sees the kitten

The kitten is fearless, when the older cat lunges or swats the older cat will often walk away and the kitten will follow, it doesnt pounce on the older cat its more a case of i would like ro play but im going to sit here and watch and occasionaly get a bit closer, thats when the older cat will...

So as an update its been a week and the older cat is still hissing growling and swatting at the maine coon kitten who is 18 weeks old, he is getting quite big and the the older established cat is quite active with the rushing at him and swatting, even though it looks agressive she has never...

thankyou for this advice, juat let them see each other again just now, will keep you updates

Hello All, I wanted to follow this up for some advice, please. So as explained previously after a week we introduced Sookie our 8-year-old cat to our Maine Coon Kitten Chester. I think it was too soon as we didn't follow the process exactly and there was hissing growling swatting etc nothing...

youre not alone, our 8 year old Sookie is doing the same with our maine coon Chester who is 4 months old. She sees him and growls hisses ane swats but it isnt a full on attack, more of a this is my house and youre a guest! Small wins are key just keep at it like we are and have faith! I know...

I know it can take a while for the hissing growling and swatting to stop but they have the odd occasions when they are a couple of feet apart juat staring at one another. We have been feeding them close together in the evening say 2 to 3 feet and get the best results when feeding fish as sookie...

Sookie is 8 years old and had the rule of the roost and Chester the maine coon is 15 weeks. We still put him in his safe room at night. I know the hiss and swat episodes will die down as she gets used to him but Chester is such a lovely cat that yoh hate to see it.

Our maine coon kitten has been around 8 year old for a week or so now, there is still hissing and swatting but sometimes they sit 2 feet apart with occasional hiss and the odd swat. This maine coon kitten is very bold and gets close to her but doesnt try to jump or play even though you can see...

The established cat did come over to the kitten whilst eating and hiss and try to swat today but I just see this as asserting dominance?

Hello We have a new addition of a maine coin kitten (Chester) who has been with us 2 weeks. The first week we scent swapped fed closer and closer to the door which went relativley well although our 8 year old cat (Sookie) made the odd noise and hiss. We decided to introduce them visually...
